Dozens of passengers in Japan are delayed thanks to three tourists

It’s incredible that just a couple of people can cause such problems that dozens of passengers are affected but that’s exactly the case a Naha Airport in Okinawa Japan this week. It seems that three tourists from China managed to get into secure areas of the airport without first going through the security check points. In response all the security gates were shut down for an hour, which then went on to cause flight delays throughout the entire airport.

It turns out that the tourists wandered off looking for duty-free stores while they were waiting for their own connection flights, not realizing the mistake they had made until it was too late. They ended up at the departure gates and in the baggage claim before they were discovered.
